When it comes to rejiggering layouts or finding creative storage solutions for everything from pans to pasta, it’s best to consult the experts. Luckily, in and around Boston, there’s no shortage of pros who are guaranteed to create a kitchen beyond your wildest dreams, whether that includes eco-friendly bamboo cabinetry or a blink-and-you-miss-it induction cooktop.
Heartwood Kitchens
The only thing that rivals Nancy Hanson’s eye for creating a functional floor plan is her flair for style, from a space featuring industrial light fixtures and slate gray cabinetry to a sunny kitchen with an earthy palette. Plus, she has a secret weapon: her contractor husband, Paul, who handily installs the custom and semi-custom cabinetry she dreams up.

Next, you’ll visit the company’s Stoneham showroom to explore cabinetry by Wood-Mode and appliances by Sub-Zero and Thermador. After you approve conceptual drawings, the Adams team will get to work. The end result? The perfect kitchen for cooking, entertaining, and hanging out.
